What do you think is the most evocative word in the English language? I’m sure that if you asked that question to 100 people, you could get 101 different responses. Some people may gravitate towards (or be repelled away from) words simply because of the way they sound. For example, “cellar door” has been cited as one of the most beautiful English compound words, and other words—such as “moist” or “crusty”—often raise listeners’ hackles or activate their gag reflexes. Other words can awaken our imagination and draw a mental picture.

Even if it’s used to describe the most expensive model in…

Photography is an art form at heart and requires creativity and talent to excel at. But if you want to make a career out of photography you’ll need to be equally as good at running a business. And this is where many photographers struggle. If photography is your job and you work for yourself then maintaining the business side of your photography is, unfortunately, just as important as having the artistic skills needed to make a living.

The term film noir was originally applied by a group of French critics to American thriller and detective films made in the mid 1940s to 1950s. Directors such as Fritz Lang and Billy Wilder made films characterised by cynicism, moral ambiguity and fatalism, and with plenty of suspicious characters. Noir is the French…

Alaska is the largest and northernmost state in the USA. It’s also my new favorite place in the US so far. I had been there a while back for a documentary shoot and extended my stay for a bit to collect some material for this video. Unfortunately the weather was not too great for a large amount of the time there, but I guess that’s part of the deal in Alaska… Either way, enjoy this trip though amazing glaciers, beautiful villages and breathtaking scenery. GEAR: Shot with Lumix GH5 camera, 14-140mm and 7-14mm Lumix Lenses and DJI Mini 4 Pro. Postproduction with DaVinci Resolve Studio. This video is subject to copyright owned by Spoonfilm.
